The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was established in 1505. Sushruta had already been performing reconstructive surgery for over two thousand years by then. His ethical framework predates the Hippocratic Oath. East India Company surgeons were still learning rhinoplasty techniques from Indian practitioners in the 18th century.
What happened in Edinburgh this week is an overdue correction to Western assumptions about where foundational medical knowledge originated.

The absolute biggest joke in global geopolitics is people lecturing India about the caste system while completely ignoring that China actively runs a literal state-enforced, legalized caste system in 2026
Let’s talk about the Hukou system, because the double standard is insane🧵

@BjornQuixote American technology companies invest their profits in R & D . That is why they do not distribute dividends and add value to their companies.
Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.
Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.
Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.
Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.
Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."
Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.
Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

शेवटी कोडं उलगडलंच! गेल्या वर्षी वंतारामध्ये ट्रम्प ज्युनियर आणि अनंत अंबानी यांची भेट का झाली होती, यामागचं खरं कारण आता समोर आलंय! 😀
अमेरिकेचे ५०% टॅरिफ आणि ट्रम्प-अंबानी यांच्यातील 'सिक्रेट डील'ची ही आतली बातमी तुम्हाला थक्क करेल. सविस्तर थ्रेड वाचा... 🧵 (1/11)
Moronic nonsense! You don't eradicate poverty with freebies and pocket money! Robbing Peter to pay Paul is Robinhood style jungle raj. 810 million still get free monthly ration, another 400+ million get doles and freebies. All at the cost of hardworking meritorious individuals who contribute 76% of personal income tax and other indirect taxes from their hard earned money. They are hardly one million out of 1.45 billion. When you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; but if you teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime! That's what @narendramodi and @nsitharaman should have focused on. Only two projects #SkillIndia and #PMMY would have been enough instead of giving away everything for free along with pocket money. You have turned this country into a nation of beggars and freeloaders!
Yes, Britain famously transferred wealth to India. When British arrived in India its share of the world economy was 4%. When they left in 1947, they had taken it to 23%, roughly equal to all of Europe combined.
On a serious note.
The Indian railways were financed entirely by bonds sold on the London Stock Exchange. British investors were guaranteed a return of 5% per annum by the colonial government. A guaranteed return, in an era when no other safe investment in Britain offered anything close. And who guaranteed those returns? Indian taxpayers. Indians paid for the construction. Indians paid the guaranteed profits to British shareholders. Indians paid for the equipment, which was manufactured exclusively in Britain and shipped to India at inflated prices. One mile of Indian railway cost twice what the same mile cost to build in Canada or Australia, because the guaranteed return meant there was no incentive to control costs. The more it cost, the more British investors and suppliers earned.
And what were these railways designed to do? Move raw materials from India’s interior to ports. Cotton from the Deccan to Bombay. Jute from Bengal to Calcutta. Coal from Bihar to wherever the Empire needed it. Tea from Assam to London’s drawing rooms. The routes connected mines and plantations to harbors. Not cities to cities. Not people to opportunities. Raw materials to ships. The Indian public’s transportation needs were, as Shashi Tharoor put it, entirely incidental.
Oh, and the railways also moved troops. Very efficiently. So that when Indians protested being looted, the British could deploy soldiers to shoot them. That was the other “infrastructure investment.”
But wait, there is more. Before the railways, India had the world’s finest textile industry. The British smashed the looms, broke the weavers’ thumbs (this is not metaphor, this is documented history), imposed tariffs on Indian cloth, and shipped raw cotton to Manchester to be manufactured into garments that were then sold back to Indians. India went from being the world’s largest textile exporter to an importer of British cloth within a generation.
The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated 3 million people. Churchill diverted food supplies from Bengal to already well-supplied British troops and European stockpiles. When informed of the famine, his response, on the record, was to ask why Gandhi had not died yet. This is the “infrastructure investor” Musk is defending.
India contributed 2.5 million soldiers to fight in two World Wars on Britain’s behalf.
So let us summarize the colonial “investment” in India. They took a 23% global economy and left it at 4%. They destroyed the world’s finest textile industry. They built railways with Indian money, for Indian resources, generating British profits. They engineered famines that killed millions. They drained an estimated $45 trillion in today’s value over 200 years.
That’s some unprofitable adventure.
Shourya Chakra for Lt Col Aditya Ghatge of the ‘Waghnakhs’ (Tiger’s Claws) of the Indian Army!
Had the privilege of meeting him last year!
The Waghnakhs have no peers!
You must've heard Nana Patekar is too Blunt & Outspoken. That's 100% true & here's a proof. Saying 'this' in front of sitting CM & Dy CM is surely not easy.

देश का दिवाला पिट गया है....
अप्रैल में खर्च, टैक्स कलेक्शन से तीन गुना है। मोदी सरकार का बुलबुला फूट जाएगा।
जितने बजट घाटे को बजट में साल भर के लिए दर्शाया था, उसका 21% अकेले अप्रैल में ही हो गया। एक महीने में करीब 3.5 लाख करोड़ का घाटा हुआ है।
कुल सालाना बजट घाटा GDP के 5% तक पहुँच जाएगा। कुल रकम में देखें तो यह 21 से 22 लाख करोड़ तक पहुँच जाएगा। इस घाटे को मोदी सरकार कर्ज़ लेकर भी नहीं संभाल सकती।
सभी विभागों में योजनाओं के ख़र्च में बड़ी कटौती होगी। राज्य सरकारों की चीखें निकल जाएंगी। आधे राज्य कर्मचारियों को तनख्वाह और पेंशन नहीं दे पाएंगे।
देश को मोदी सरकार ने गहरे गड्ढे में धकेल दिया है। बिजली और फर्टिलाइज़र के दाम बेतहाशा बढ़ेंगे। ग्रामीण भारत से कई योजनाएं जल्द ही बंद हो जाएंगी।

The pace at which Rajesh Mehta is being showcased in national media and defending himself with aplomb, he will be rehabilitated in a week, and the SEBI Chief himself will issue a clean chit. Obviously he is the front for something much bigger.
